Today on account of Women’s Day, the renowned Author and philanthropist Sudha Murthy has received a momentous gift from the honourable President of India, Droupadi Murmu who nominated her as the Rajya Sabha member. As a result, Sudha expressed her happiness for achieving such a respectful position and also spilled the beans about her responsibilities and prospects during her tenure.
As reported by the PTI, Sudha Murthy said she has never expected the esteemed position and still she feels startled why the government nominated her as a Rajya Sabha member. She further said, “It came on Women’s day and that’s a double surprise. I am very happy. I am grateful to our prime minister.”
At present, she is off to Thailand. She said, “I have to see what things are..What can I do. This is a new area to me. So, I have to first sit and study and then I will be able to do it. I am happy, at the same time I feel I have been given more responsibility. I’ll work my level best. On a personal level, I am happy that I’m getting a bigger platform to work for the poor. I don’t think that I could consider myself as a politician and I’m not a politician. I’m a nominated Rajya Sabha member. My son-in-law’s politics is for his country and it is different, and my work is different. I’m a government worker now.”
